International School of Tanganyika

The International School of Tanganyika, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, is a
private, non-profit, co-educational day school offering 14 years of English
Language medium schooling for students aged four to 19 years. It is governed
by a Board of Directors, elected for three-year terms of office by the
parents.

The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students from the international
community of Dar es Salaam, for the majority of whom English is a foreign
language. The programme of studies maintains academic standards comparable
to those in other large international schools and in the national schools
of Europe and North America.

There are 100 fully qualified teachers from 20 countries; more than half
have been recruited from the UK and another 20 from the USA. IST is assisted
by the Office of Overseas Schools of the US Department of State and is
accredited by CIS and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
IST enrols 870 students, representing 62 nationalities. IST is a fully
accredited IBO school offering the Primary Years Programme at Elementary
level and the Middle Years Programme at Secondary level. The final two
years at IST include the International Baccalaureate programme, a rigorously
academic pre-university course of study. Ninety-five per cent of graduates
go on to higher education.

The school year begins in late August and consists of four terms. There
is an extensive optional afternoon activities programme offering sports,
art and crafts, music, computers, field trips and community service.

IST is located on three campuses (ECC, Elementary and Secondary). Facilities
include 80 classrooms, two auditoriums, two infirmaries, two gymnasia,
two playing fields, three swimming pools, seven science labs, two computer
labs, two libraries, an AV theatre, a purpose-built studio theatre, an
administration block and a music and drama complex.
